A fair call.

bl has some family issues but didn't want to make a big deal about it (PMed me after his last post), but he deserves to be wished well.

All the best for BL

Only 170 more sleeps.

Worthy of repeating in this thread...

Latest Morgan Poll has LNP at 59% - Labor at 41% - 2PP.

Labor primary vote - 26.5%.

163 more days of linseed oiling the baseball bat.

and about another 180 on top of that until the unemployed filthy lying little rodent gets the gg's job

by horace Wed 03 Apr 2013, 07:02

maybe that other sociopath (krudd the dud) could jobshare the gg's job with the lying little rodent

You're hilarious when you're extra bitter, h. Very Happy

Actually I've been in and out of the country and contracted a nasty tropical disease. A week in hospital and a week's bed rest (due to mrs qmy kicking the shit out of me) followed by mrs qmy deciding I needed to get away for a while so she chartered a yacht once the weather cleared and i am currently in Port Douglas waiting to heave ho.

She made sure there were no non essential computers on board. Though we do have a TV and I get to see that Japanese kid from the Rangers go within one pitch of a perfect game.

Good to hear you are on the mend, old cock.

I like the way he accepted it. Nice kid. Not enough for me to like the rangers though.

That is very hard to believe.

by skully Thu 04 Apr 2013, 09:01

That it's that high?

by lardbucket Thu 04 Apr 2013, 09:07

No, it's so low ... must be the old 'rusted on' component of the vote actually dying before they breed replacements, or maybe the low jobless rate is actually hurting JGs vote? Just never thought the 'core vote' of a major party would or could drop so low.

by skully Thu 04 Apr 2013, 09:17

Latest Morgan Poll

I fudged just a smidge. 26.5% is actually the Primary vote for Labor amongst men (which is still pretty amazing, and grouse). Amongst women it's 33% (see right most column in link above) so overall the Pinko Primary vote is actually 30%.

If you check the trends in that table, it seems Juliar's Hillary Clinton make-over pepped up the chicks' votes for Labor just a little but had the opposite effect on men.

by lardbucket Thu 04 Apr 2013, 09:22

Smidge-fudger.

Hehehe. I does what I can. Cool

5 months and 5 days, and Albo is adamant they will win, because he reckons they have the better NBN (you know, the uncosted, open cheque book one). Do people really GAF about the NBN? I think they care more about the massive waste of money.

by skully Tue 16 Apr 2013, 01:37

150 days to go. The Vulture is pulling out the big guns now, but as always, they are hastily thrown together poorly detailed policies.

by skully Thu 18 Apr 2013, 05:44

Getting dangerously near to page 2.

by skully Fri 19 Apr 2013, 12:02

Up we go!!!

by Paul Keating Fri 19 Apr 2013, 12:20

It won't change many votes

But the NBN is popular

Remember how you guys were all about wireless technology back in the 2010 campaign and three years later you realise that fibre and cables is the way to go.
